About this deal
You may choose to clean your microwave with grease-busting washing up liquid just as you would your dishes and other kitchen surfaces. Finally, wipe down the outside of the microwave with a cloth dipped in the vinegar solution. Make sure you wring the cloth out well before wiping the controls, as you don’t want any moisture to gather behind the buttons, then rinse and dry as above. The top tip for learning how to clean a microwave is to let a bowl of water mixed with either lemon, vinegar, or baking soda sit in the microwave for three minutes on high heat before you start scrubbing with a cloth. The steam created from the water solution will work wonders, and make cleaning ten times easier. However, the benefit of microwave steam cleaners are that these products can be reused up to a hundred times and require minimal prep.

While you should only need to deep clean your microwave once or twice a month, spillages should be mopped up immediately. This will prevent them being baked into the surface which makes cleaning much harder and increases the fire risk. Or you could use a specially formulated product like HG Microwave Cleaner. Using the spray trigger, you can apply this cleaner directly to the machine’s surfaces to break up greasy deposits and loosen solidified stains.
